The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has released final figures for June 2026 and the full fiscal year 2025-2026, revealing a historic milestone for the Keystone State. Total gaming revenue for the fiscal year exceeded $7bn for the first time, climbing 9.6% year-on-year.
Despite the strong annual performance, June revenue declined 1.7% to $535.3m, dragged down by falls across most land-based verticals. Retail slot machine revenue slipped 1.3% to $196.6m, while retail table games dropped 21% to $61m. Video gaming terminals contracted 3.3% to $3.3m, and iGaming poker fell 12.4% to $2.4m.
